Hear, hear!
I've been proclaiming this exact point as part of my "Resurrecting the Dead" talk.
Code review of GenAI PRs is no longer about training the next generation of potential maintainers, making it just a time sink, sucking the joy out of being a maintainer.
Well done AI companies.
OSS can't survive without community, so destroying the communities is a great step towards destroying open source (in favour of the AI closed garden where tokens costs 100x what they do now)....

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.netCode reviewing was never the most interesting thing to do. But it had one important element. That, if done right, it was knowledge exchange between the reviewer and the coder. That can be quite motivating. Helping a fellow coder to become better. Reviewing "AI" written code does NOT come with that potential reward. The machine doesn't learn the way a human does. This turns code review into a menial, fruitless task that leads to frustration instead. That's my observation and opinion.
